Iโm so excited to welcome to the Merritt Media family for the 2025-2026 season!
My family has been going to Little Richards since I was a baby, so this partnership feels pretty special.

Little Richardโs BBQ was founded in 1991 by Nick Karagiorgis and Gary Sizemore. Over the years, the Little Richardโs BBQ family has grown to five locations: Clemmons, Yadkinville, Mt. Airy, Walkertown, and Winston-Salem (Stratford Road)!
Now operated by the second generation of the Karagiorgis family, they are proud to still be family-owned and rooted in the same traditions and values that started it all. Theyโve spent more than three decades perfecting the art of BBQ, smoking our pork low and slow over hickory for 16 hours. Itโs a craft they take seriously and a tradition theyโll never compromise!
Their recipes, handed down through generations, stay true to their Lexington-style roots. From their signature vinegar-based โdipโ to every rack of ribs, brisket, chicken, and sausage that comes out of the smoker, they are committed to preserving North Carolinaโs BBQ legacy while offering something special for everyone!
Their โBar-N-Queโ (located in Winston-Salem on Stratford Road) represents the evolution of their business, featuring an expanded menu, a full-service bar, and private dining spaces. While this location brings fresh offerings, all of their restaurants remain grounded in the same values of quality, tradition, and warm hospitality ๐ท
